Ep 1: Vanessa Warwick on MTV Headbangers Ball, Female Tastemakers, and Hanging with Iconic Rockers!

[@danieljohnpeters]

50:47 in. YES! Bring back Headbangers Ball. Be awesome to see live in the studio footage or at home with members of bands. Along with the usual MV and live shows, tours, festivals etc. Fan interaction allowing a group of fans the chance to meet the band in an intimate live show at the new Headbangers Ball head quarters. Photos with the band etc. They can win that chance via special TikTok/youtube posts etc. Almost like a mix or trl and the OG headbangers. Fun, raw, interactive and live 🤘

Great discussion - thanks for sharing

Thanks for watching!

[@zeitgeist404]

Awesome insight into Songwriting. But what examples exist of a popular band that became famous by first writing longer songs? I'd argue none. 😊

[@BlindingTalent]

Feels like a good challenge! Thanks for checking us out

[@hudsonrolfe33]

[@BlindingTalent]

Great interview. The interview was very respectful, asked good question and let Vanessa speak without constant interrupting, unlike a lot of interviewers who don't seem to grasp this concept. Vanessa is queen as always. Thank you so much for this!

[@BlindingTalent]

[@kevinn6554]

Loved this. Loved MTV's Headbangers Ball. She is right, the bands never took her seriously and acted up, then they would change their attitude when she asked great questions and proved that she had done her research.
I bumped into her once at a Fear Factory show at The Kentish Town Forum at the bar, 1997ish. I was speechless and we just stared at eachother. Sorry, Vanessa. ❤

[@BlindingTalent]

haha love this, although sounds mighty awkward!

[@kevinn6554]

😂

[@TrustinRock]
